Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions can chiropractic care treat?

At Hoover Spine and Joint Center, we work with patients dealing with back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain, sports injuries, neuropathy symptoms, and postural problems. If you are unsure whether your condition is something we can help with, give us a call, and we will be honest with you about whether our care is a good fit.

How does chiropractic treatment work?

Chiropractic care restores proper alignment to the spine and joints, reducing nerve irritation and allowing your body to function the way it was designed to. At our clinic, we go beyond adjustments by combining personalized treatment plans with targeted therapies to ensure each patient receives the care their specific condition requires.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes! Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, evidence-based approach performed by licensed professionals. The majority of our patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment. If chiropractic care is not right for your situation, we will tell you that and point you in the right direction.

How long will it take to see results?

Some patients notice improvement within the first few visits. Others with more complex or long-standing conditions need more time. We take your specific goals seriously and build a care plan around them so you understand what to expect and why. Patients who follow through with their full plan consistently get the best results.

Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?

Most patients feel little to no discomfort during an adjustment. Some experience mild soreness afterward, similar to what you might feel after a good workout. We take the time to explain each step of your treatment so there are no surprises.

How often will I need to come in?

Visit frequency depends on your condition and your goals. Many new patients start with one to three sessions per week and gradually shift to a maintenance schedule as they improve. We will walk you through the recommended timeline during your onboarding visits, so you know exactly what your care plan looks like.

Can chiropractic care help with neuropathy?

Yes. Nerve irritation caused by spinal misalignment is often at the root of neuropathy symptoms like tingling, numbness, and burning pain. By correcting the underlying structural issues, we can reduce that nerve pressure and help restore normal function. We also offer Class IV Laser Therapy, which has been shown to support healing in cases of neuropathy.

Do I need a referral to make an appointment?

No referral is needed. You can contact our office directly to schedule a consultation. We make it easy to get started, and we will take the time during your first visits to thoroughly explain what we find and how we plan to help.

Do you offer laser therapy?

Yes. We offer Class IV Laser Therapy through our Birmingham Laser Pain Center. This safe, non-invasive treatment uses targeted light energy to reduce pain and inflammation and support tissue healing. It is particularly effective for back pain, joint conditions, and neuropathy, and it works well alongside our chiropractic and spinal rehab programs.
